Reward: An enemy no longer has to already be defeated for Communion to take effect. Altima can now passively drain the aether from a living target as well, so long as physical contact is maintained.

New Description: When in direct physical contact with an opponent, the user can sap them of their aether, inducing a variety of symptoms ranging from minor fatigue to extreme weakness. The severity of these symptoms varies widely depending on the general health of the target and the duration of the contact. Extensive exposure to this drain effect can result in serious, and sometimes dire effects. Doing this will also reinvigorate the user and restore a wounded body to a degree which varies depending on the traits of the victim and the severity of the drain.

Additional Notes: This is an ability that, lore-wise, Altima should already have. However, I hadn't really fleshed out precisely how it worked yet when I was writing up her Powers during the application process. Now that I've done a few threads with Altima and played around which how her aether-sapping powers would work, I feel a lot more prepared to make it into an Ability that will be recognized in regulated content. For examples of how exactly this draining process will work at two opposite extremes, feel free to look at this thread between Altima, Alex, and a poor Shadow who did not last very long at all.
